I haven't weighed my car yet but 2300lbs with me in it is going to be really close.

Small update- I finally pinched one off and bought another MSD 6al. So I have the leading wired direct fire/wastespark and now the trailing thru the distributer cap. Now I can use my rev limiter functions which is set a 10,200rpm's and I will launch off of that! This should help me out alot with my 60ft times and will most likely put the front wheels in the air. This weekend I am getting my scattershield made and my driveshaft loop installed and then it's off to the track again to try and better my time. Here's a couple pics of the MSD boxes and install.





Do you guys notice anything wierd with my MSD install from the engine bay pic?

Nice work as always Jay.

10,200. Has the rotating assembly been balanced and clearanced? 110+PSI of oil?

ultimatejay

iTrader: (1)

Thanks bro. No, my rotating assembly is not balanced and my rotors are not clearanced. My shift light comes on at 9500 so I shift before the 10,200. I will try launching at 10,200 and see how it goes. As soon as the clutch is dumped the rpms come down to about 7,500 to 8000 so it will only be at 10,200 rpms for a couple seconds if that. I've heard from some well known racers that 10,600 to 10,800 is about as high as you want to push the unclearanced/unbalanced rotating assy. I most likely won't go over 10,200 though. And yes, I have modified my oil pressure regulator to 100+ psi. I know someone who runs unclearanced/unbalanced rotors and has gone over 12,000 rpms alot with no damage. Besides, I need and excuse to build a pport motor.

PM me a week before you go to the track, I definitely want to see this thing run!!

Better be at seven stock this year!! 09/29/2009!!

I will do just that sir. hehe. I just went last night. I am working a few tunning tweaks here and there, but I managed a 7.86 running really rich. My goal for this motor setup is mid 7's in the 8th and I'll be happy until I build my pport motor. This economy is stretching my dreams out. Here's a vid from last night launching off the rev limiter at 10,200. I need to run the stock flywheel as the lightened steel is hurting me out of the hole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbbSx6j1w9A

Hey Jay, not more updates? please keep us posted of this green mean machine

Sorry, I haven't updated this thread. I turned this car into a full drag racing car and have been posting some updates in the drag forum. I didn't know if anyone was interested in this forum.

Since my last post I have done quite alot to my car. I removed all the factory fuel lines and fuel tank and installed stainless wire braided lines and an aluminum fuel tank in the rear. I finally got a chance to run my car in the 1/4 mile and although I had some fuel pressure problems I managed to run a decent 12.5 at 107 mph. The video is in my sig. I was able to weigh my car at the last event and it weighed 2120lbs with me in the car. I wiegh about 180lbs. In the all motor class I'm allowed to weigh 1850 with driver so I can lose alot of weight. Since knowing that I have been removing weight from the car. I removed all the glass windows, window crank mechanisms, chrome trim, even the noise insulation mat on the bottom of the floor pan. Believe it or not this insulation weighed about 25-30lbs- using dry ice was the ticket in removing this crap and it was still about 4-6hrs worth of work. I also removed the door bars in every door except the drivers door as I don't have a roll cage yet. I don't need a roll cage until I go 11.50 in the 1/4, so I'm ok for a little while. All in all I calculated about 150lbs that I removed from the car. This should really help reduce my power to weight ratio and I look forward to the next race event on September 5th. My goal is to run 11's with this small 12abridge. I am also going to install a full spool in my 9". I have been running a detroit locker which hooks pretty good but a spool is much lighter and will hook even better. In this last week I have been installing the Lexan windows in my car myself. I am very pleased with the progress and look. It's alot of work but worth it when I can sit back and say I built pretty much everything on the car.
I think that about catches us up to today. Here's some pics.

Thanks, I was going to go the 20b route, but way out of my price range right now. I'm saving up for a 13bpport.

Thanks, your starlet is coming along nicely too. I'll try and keep this thread updated up until I switch over to a pport.
